It's Getting Late
Minnow Winters doesn’t do soft. She does control, discipline, silence, and routine. The mission is not love. But then comes Victor Dawson. He’s patient in a way that makes her feel. He’s steel-wall solid. He doesn’t flinch at her sharp edges or the ghosts that haunt her at night. He sees Minnow, the woman . . . not Winters, the soldier.
What starts as late-night conversations turns into something deeper. War taught them how to survive. Love’s battlefield has a different objective in mind. When it gets late, the truth feels louder than fear. Minnow must decide when it gets late, whether she’s going to stay or leave.

Alright now! I went into this read understanding that it was about veterans who experienced some trauma. But ma'am the way you wrote this thang, had me feeling like I was right there in the trenches with them, feeling all the anxiety, stress, and fear that they felt! Whew.... 💔🥹
Minnow grew up hard out of necessity, and the military is where she found her purpose. She thrived while moving up the ranks, until several unfortunate incidents led to her retirement. Now on home soil, she has unresolved trauma that she refuses to deal with and is hypervigilant about everything around her. Her social worker suggests a change of scenery, in her small, quiet, hometown.
Plasters, Georgia is just what Minnow is looking for when she arrives. As she gets settled, she meets Vic Dawson, owner of the butcher shop, and farm. The attraction is immediate; however, Vic notices the signs of her trauma and understands that he has to tread lightly with her. As a fellow veteran who also suffers from trauma, her behaviors are all too familiar. Slow and steady wins the race. Vic is intentional, and patient with Minnow as he slowly allows her time and space to find her footing in this new environment, and in her life.
All things can't be sunshine and rainbows, as both Vic and Minnow experience episodes and drama, that pulls them back into their fight or flight mode. I loved how the Dawson family took to Minnow showing her so much love and support, while Vic won her heart. Enjoyed this! 👍🏿👍🏿

Mel Dau always brings something different!
This one was for the soldiers and vets! There was a lot of unaliving for these to have been civilians 😳 but stand your ground means stand your ground.

This was one of those books that somehow gave slow burn while also keeping the story moving, which I really appreciated. It never felt like it was dragging, but the relationship still had time to develop naturally.
What really stood out to me was the way PTSD was handled. It felt thoughtful and realistic, and I loved the way we’re able to see through his actions the amount of patience Vic possessed regarding Minnow. Through his patience & consistency, Minnow also was able to find safety and softness🥹
There’s also a little bit of action sprinkled in, just enough to keep things interesting without taking away from the heart of the story. And at its core, this is a soft, sweet romance and I always adore a book with strong found family vibes. The way the Dawson’s loved on Minnow felt so warm.
Overall, this one felt comforting. Not perfect, but definitely a solid read if you’re in the mood for something tender with a little edge.

Attention Soldier 😘
I love the way the story was written in detail to help you resonate with people that have actually experienced war. I loved Vic’s patience with Minnow and helping her deal better with her PTSD while he himself had it as well. He and his family fully embraced, supported, and welcomed her. We all know a know Ms. Cook and her sons 🥴 while she may not want to have admitted it she was definitely a big part of their problem. Overall I really enjoyed it and was glad they finally had peace and each other.

Mel Dau knows how to write a book. I enjoyed everything about this. It’s a novella with good pacing. Loved the plot. Loved the characters and found family. The Dawsons did not play bout their bay Minnow. Definitely read this. This was a good time.

Whew…

This was a cute read. I enjoyed them being older, but idk it kind of felt like they just went right into a relationship. And I do understand that some chemistry is like that, but it was literally like one page they were going over the trainings and knowledge of the farm and then the next they were snuggled up and having sex. LOL like wait, did we miss some steps. LOL but overall, cute read.

This book right here! 🔥🔥🔥
When I saw the video promo for this book on social media, I was intrigued. When I read the synopsis and reviews, I was sold. After reading it, I knew one thing for sure: Mel Dau wrote the hell out of this book.
I loved the fact that this book was about veterans living with PTSD, especially the fact that BOTH main characters, Minnow and Victor, suffered from it. Minnow had my empathy wings unfolding for her throughout the book. The things she'd seen and been through, plus the drama she met with in that town? All I can say is karma was on speed dial, and she answered every single call.
Some of the things that stood out for me were the way Victor was always present to give her whatever she needed to be safe, happy, loved, and secure without being overbearing, loud, dismissive, or disrespectful. I loved this for Minnow. The way she showed up for her man, Victor, and the Dawson family, no questions asked? Fire!! But that epilogue? Mmmm hmmm, you already know. From beginning to the epilogue, this is a definite 10 stars for me.

It’s getting late
This was an enjoyable and quick read. I liked the Victor didn’t push Minnow and allowed for her to decide herself about attending meetings until it was absolutely necessary for him to push a little harder about it based on the incident at the farm. I liked the way he loved on her and that she felt safe enough to let her guard down and not have to he hyper vigilant all the time. Minnow was tough and no nonsense until she felt comfortable and loved by the Dawsons and then she embraced them as her family, the same as they did her.
Mrs. Cook is the worst kind of mother with how she enabled her sons’ wrong doing and minimized their actions and their lack of accountability and hers for what they did was crazy work.
I appreciated the research that was done on both the military aspect and the PTSD diagnosis. I liked that the author highlighted that we all need someone and can’t do it alone, especially when we’re battling demons.

I truly enjoyed reading this!!! Minnow found her peace and love with the Dawson family. Her relationship with Vic flourished at her pace. I liked that Vic did not rush her but he did let her know where he stood with wanting to be with her.
Mama Dawson did not play, loved her. She kept me laughing.
I liked how the story revolved around service veterans PTSD. Vic going to group therapy and softly pushed Minnow into therapy. He talked about his experience with it, but he tricked her into going (lmbo).
The Cook brothers got their issue. I was not sad or mad with the outcome. Mama Dawson tagged their mammy, Beverly; had me in tears laughing at her. Mama had that “on sight” attitude when she saw Beverly. What did it for me was when Mama Dawson bought Beverly’s bed & breakfast spot to pay for her son’s legal fees.

Vic and Minnow!!
Minnow was having a hard time adjusting since she got out of the service. Her social worker tells her about a small town that could possibly help her adjust and someone who would probably hire her. There, she meets Vic who becomes her boss and so much more. Vic and Minnow deal with their issues in different ways, but Minnow eventually comes around the more she falls in love with Vic. I loved the added drama that was included in the book. Mrs. Cook and those boys didn't learn a thing and suffered the consequences. This is the first time that I've read a book where the MMC and the FMC both suffered from PTSD, and I thoroughly enjoyed that aspect. This is another great book from this author that you need to read as well.

Ok Soror Mel Dau! I fully enjoyed this one. It started a bit slow but once I got a few chapters in, I was hooked.
I loved Minnow and Victor. I saw the connection from a mile away but didn't think he would be able to get her to ease up the way he did. That man was so patient and loving. Exactly what she needed. The fact that they both had similar experiences as it related to the military was a definite plus.
The Dawsons are a family family. I love the way they love one another as well as how quickly they took to Minnow.
But that Beverly Cook and her raggity boys got exactly what they deserved. Ugh
This was a really good short read.

It’s Getting Late by Mel Dau?? Yeah… this one HIT.
Minnow + Vic = chef’s kiss. The love, the care, the way his family wrapped her up like she belonged?? I ate it UP.
That sneaky sis-in-law knew exactly what she was doing sending her to Plasters 👀
Mrs. Cooks though… whew. Loved her, but she stayed defending her MENACE sons. And yeah… that situation? I didn’t like it but actions (and lack of discipline) have consequences.
I really appreciated how PTSD was handled, real, soft, and focused on healing.
If you want a story that proves love can heal you? This is it. 💛

she never misses!!
When I say I love a Mel Dau book, I mean it with everything in me!!
And reading It’s Getting Late, reminded me of why I love her books so much. Besides being the author that created two of my crazy book besties Mega and Hemi, when she tells a story or as she says they talk to her and tells her what to write, you are never disappointed!!
Like this book it was the perfect mix of educational, drama, crazy and hilarious and you get that in every book in her catalog!!
So if you haven’t read Dawson and Winters story yet go ahead and add it to your TBR!!

I love Victor and Minnow! I love his small town. I’m from Arkansas and I want to be in Plasters with the Dawson’s!!!! Victor helped ground Minnow is a way that you could feel through the pages! He was patient and forgiving and slow to anger. Minnow open his heart! He thought he’d never get that true love and it was dropped in his lap in the blink of the eye. Now those little heathen boys 😡 they need a belt to 🍑 real talk! Their mom was an enabler who need more than one whooping herself! The love story is beautiful without too much mush! I love that I covered real problems with PTSD and showed how not everyone is ready to face their problems! I love how Mel didn’t make Minnow’s character to bend just because it makes a perfect ending! This is a great piece of art!!!

Minnow and Victor
A wonderful story of two people with similar experiences related to their time in the armed forces and PTSD
One who had a loving family to come home to, the other, Minnow who had no family or friends
Finding each other in the small town Victor lived in led to a love and support and a family who loved her for Minnow and Victor got his soulmate
Mel penned a beautiful story with the issue of PTSD and its effects to an amazing story of how to overcome and find true happiness
The story is very enjoyable and Worth reading.

Wow…
As an army retired veteran who has a first hand experience with PTSD, I was really impressed with the way that this story was written. In this short, well written story, we were introduced to Minnow Winters and Victor Dawson. They were both Army vets whose military service left them scarred. After meeting each other, they quickly progressed into a relationship in the which they loved and trusted each other explicitly. I won’t go into complete detail of the book, but it was definitely worth reading.

It was a beautiful short book.
Coming home from the military can cause a lot of trauma. I was happy that Mim was able to get therapy. A lot of our military troops dont get therapy after coming home.
I understand how it feels to be married to a military man. I am happy that he took the step to address the PTSD. I am his strength.
Thank you Mel for showing the world about this book.

Victor and Minnow, We In This Together
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was so happy to see how both Victor and Minnows relationship grew!!!!...
The Dawson's were not to be played with at all!!!...Victor showed her what that 42 yo thing will do and it brought them 3 beautiful babies!!!...
Their memories and emotions were so raw and it was good to a woman main character dealing openly with the aftermath of her military career!!!...

This is a must read
Yes, I loved Minnow and Victor story. They were one and the same and got each other. Their bond became love and understanding. The Dawson family is close knit and stood on business when the time came.
I did shed a little tear when the darkness moved in but Mel wrote those scenes to perfection from the stories my daddy told me.

Triplets
Friend. I almost took away a star just for the triplets' names. Anthony AND Tony. Winters, instead of just Winter. 😖😩😤. Then I thought about who wrote this gem. 😂
Anyhoo, Vic & Min were everything! This book was everything. Perfect pace, character development without over describing or being redundant. Spice is too tire.
This was one of Mel's best, imho.

Yes..PTSD is real. That is an everyday obstacle. Thank you for putting real life examples within the plot. I loved the movie night. It was needed. Letting young ones do what ever wasn't the best option. Now I loved the communication and the movement of Vic's family. ✨️✨️Triplets....Yep..he did that✨️✨️Loved it❤️❤️❤️

Really Enjoyed it
A story about people with a military background who find love. The love story was really good & sexy. There are conversations regarding PTSD & therapy. I thought it was well done. There was also a storyline about what happens when a parent fails to discipline their children.

Get it Shorty
You need a quick but entertaining palette cleanser this is the one. Min and Vic are the couple to satisfy those that love a little age and weight on their characters. This also serves as a reminder that you never know who you’re encountering and sometimes them kids did exactly what folks say they did.

Thank You
I just wanna say thank so much for writing about ppl age appropriate for ME. I can finally have a book BAE and I don’t have to be a cougar lol. But this was a well written story about veterans with PTSD. Which is something that’s not talked about enough. Please tap in

Them 20 somethings ain't got nothing on this!
Something for the 30s and 40s club! I loved all the real life research and input she gave the characters. It felt so real and I love the slow & steady pace. I love how they smoothly slid into a relationship 🙌🏿🤌🏿
